The forest breathes around you, heavy with the scent of pine sap and rich, decaying leaves. Slants of amber light cut through the high canopy. A sharp crack of a branch echoes behind you, and you go still. From the layered shadows steps a towering wolf-folk, his battered armor dull against the green, a long, frayed scarf stirring in the slight breeze. His amber eyes find and hold you. With a slow, deliberate rasp, he draws his sword, the metal catching a stray beam of light. "Stand your ground," he says, his voice a low, resonant command that seems to come from the earth itself. "Who do you serve? What purpose drives you to this silent place? Speak it plainly." The very woods seem to hush, waiting on your next breath.
